National Environmental Public Health Conference

CDC’s National Environmental Public Health Conference aims to
improve the nation’s environmental health capacity by enhancing the
expertise of public health professionals, academic researchers, and
representatives from communities and organizations from across the
United States.

The most recent conference, Healthy People in a Healthy Environment,
drew a national audience of 1,300 and took place in Atlanta, GA from
October 26-28, 2009.

Hundreds of presentations and posters were discussed across each of
the conference’s six topical tracks.

Healthy Places included research and programs related to
healthy communities, schools, and housing; indoor and outdoor air
quality; land reuse and revitalization; and the built environment.

Sustainability & Public Health provided a forum for
discussing public health's engagement with a variety of
sustainability initiatives, including efforts to mitigate and adapt
to climate change, green healthcare and energy initiatives, and
other sustainability programs.

Environmental Systems & Public Health promoted about how
changes in the earth's ecosystems affect population health and will
include sessions on the interrelationships between human and animal
health and the environmental public health systems that monitor,
control, or prevent adverse health outcomes.
